Information on Gold Austria’s Unsung Heroines - "Hilde Loewe-Flatter" 50 EUR AUT PF - 2026

This gold coin from the renowned Mint of Austria is another issue in the series “Austria’s Unsung Heroines.” Released annually since 2023, the series highlights extraordinary women whose contributions have had a lasting impact beyond their time. The 2026 edition is dedicated to the musician, composer, and pianist Hilde Loewe-Flatter, a significant figure in Austrian music history who remained largely in the background. Born in Vienna in 1895, she gained recognition after World War I as a sought-after piano accompanist and collaborated with prominent artists of her era. Under the pseudonym “Henry Love,” she composed songs that achieved international acclaim and were performed by stars such as Marlene Dietrich and Richard Tauber. Her work blends serious music with lighter forms, all imbued with a distinctive Viennese character. After emigrating to England, she continued her musical career as a pianist and educator. This gold coin honors Hilde Loewe-Flatter as an artist whose compositions continue to resonate today.

The 50-euro gold coin is issued with a fine weight of ¼ ounce of gold (Au 986). It is struck in the highest proof quality (PF) and features a smooth edge. The strictly limited mintage is 20,000 pieces. Each coin comes in an elegant presentation case, accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Gold Coin Design

The obverse of the coin depicts Hilde Loewe-Flatter in a contemplative profile portrait, reflecting her artistic depth and inner focus. The design is framed by the inscription “REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH” and her name “HILDE LOEWE-FLATTER.” The edge of the coin features the year of issue “2026” and the face value “50 EURO” integrated harmoniously.

The reverse shows an expressive depiction of a pianist, symbolizing the musical core of her work. A subtle graphic element references her pseudonym “Henry Love”: a mask-like silhouette represents the male name under which she published her compositions. This artistic interpretation combines biographical depth with contemporary design, emphasizing Hilde Loewe-Flatter’s significance as a composer and musician of enduring stature.
